Star Hawks was a comic strip created by Ron Goulart and Gil Kane, first published on October 3, 1977, that ran through May 2, 1981.[1] It was written through April 1979 by Goulart, followed by Archie Goodwin (1979-1980), Roger McKenzie (1980-1981) and Roger Stern (writing assist, 1979).[2] Comics veteran Gil Kane provided the artwork, with uncredited help (during a period of illness on Kane's part) from Ernie Colón and Howard Chaykin.
Kane received the National Cartoonist Society Story Comic Strip Award for 1977 for his work on the strip.[3]
Goulart also wrote two Star Hawks prose novels: Empire 99 and The Cyborg King.[4]
